White Supremacy Wins Again; What Are Words For? $95 Tshirt? Karel Cast #222 The Supreme Court has just assured that many colleges will go back to being all White, as they set us back another 100 years by striking down affirmative action. And they also said that hate speech is protected speech, another huge mistake. Then, a literary agent that doesn't like wordy emails makes me think we are moving in the wrong direction when it comes to communication. And Pop goes Culture with $95 t-shirts selling out, Costco not wanting you to share memberships and a chimp that sees the sky for the first time.

It’s been one year now since the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling, and reversed five decades of legal precedent.

Home Gardening with Terry Steele; Why Trump Isn't Worried; Math of America Karel Cast #221 Donald Trump is not worried because if he was going to go to jail, he would have been in jail. He knows it as do I. His court dates aren't even set yet, and indictments have taken years and some haven't even happened yet. He knows he's getting out of it, and that's why he's not worried. Then R&B singer/songwriter, multiple Grammy nominee Terry Steele on his new book about home gardening, Where do we Grow from here?

We lost an American hero last week with the death of DANIEL ELLSBERG, whose release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 revealed the cynical realities of the Vietnam War. A president was ignoring the will of the people, Congress, and the courts, promising peace while planning war without end. Ellsberg, a military analyst at the Rand Corporation, risked life in prison to end a war he helped plan, for which Henry Kissinger called him, "the most dangerous man in America." His actions did not end the war – at least not as quickly as he had hoped – but they did change history.

Next time on The State of Belief, Marking the first anniversary of Dobbs. When the Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade on June 24, 2022, it triggered an avalanche of pre-written legislation across the country. It’s had immeasurable impact on millions of individual lives and families, and has inspired thousands of leaders and communities of faith and of conscience to step into the breach. We’ll get a look at some of that work, the consequences of Dobbs, and the organizing going forward with Rev. Angela Tyler-Williams, Co-Director for Movement Building at SACReD, the Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity. Also, Sofi Hirscher Andofsky and Aaron Dorfman from A More Perfect Union: The Jewish Partnership for Democracy, on the lessons learned in the 2022 election – and how we can all apply those lessons to what’s coming in 2024.
